Set on Edward Road, this detached Edwardian house offers generous family accommodation across approximately 1,198 sq ft with four bedrooms and high ceilings that preserve period character. The property includes a garage and a workable, traditional kitchen/dining area — practical for family life and entertaining. Location is a major draw: a short walk to Canterbury city centre, shops, cafes and both universities, making it equally suitable for families or as a rental investment.
Practical features include double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas boiler and radiators, cavity filled walls and freehold tenure. The home sits on a small plot with a modest garden and provides street/garage parking. Transport links are strong with easy access to Canterbury West and major road connections for London and the coast.
Buyers should note there is only one bathroom serving four bedrooms and the plot is relatively small; the area records high local crime levels, which may concern some purchasers. The house has been used as both a family home and an investment and would benefit from updating in places to modernise kitchen, bathroom and internal finishes — a clear opportunity for value-add improvement.
For families seeking proximity to well-regarded local schools and city amenities, or investors targeting student and professional lettings close to the universities, this Edwardian detached home combines character and location with straightforward renovation potential.
